Value Collection R55000198 No. 6 Deck Screw Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R55000198 is a No. 6 flat head, square drive stainless steel deck screw designed for exterior fastening applications where corrosion resistance is essential. With an overall length of 1-5/8 inches, a Grade 305 stainless steel construction, and a Type 17 self-drilling point, this screw drives cleanly into decking material without requiring a pilot hole. The flat head profile sits flush with the surface for a clean finish. These fasteners are well suited for carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors working in outdoor or moisture-exposed environments.

This screw is intended for use in wood deck construction, exterior trim, and similar applications where standard carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust staining or corrosion failure. The Type 17 point cuts through wood fiber efficiently, reducing drive torque and minimizing surface splitting. Grade 305 stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance for most exterior residential and light commercial applications. These are sold individually per piece with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard No. 6 flat head square drive deck screw suitable for use with wood decking, exterior trim boards, and similar dimensional lumber in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and deck builders using a square drive bit in a cordless or corded drill-driver. Set the clutch to avoid overdriving and countersinking beyond flush. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and edge distances when installing structural decking. Do not substitute stainless fasteners with carbon steel hardware in the same assembly, as galvanic interaction with treated lumber preservatives can accelerate corrosion of dissimilar metals.
